5690 on The Fellsman - 29/7/09

Cloudy skies greet the first train in Statesman Rails series of trains from Lancaster over the Settle & Carlisle route. The train was hauled by LMS Jubilee No. 5690, 'Leander' and the video includes scenes of the outward journey at Pleasington, Ramsgreave & Wilpshire, Nappa and Helwith Bridge. I was unsure whether to leave the last shot in as the fine drizzle blowing straight onto the lens all but obscures the train. You can, however, still enjoy the wonderful sound of a Jubilee working hard on the climb to Blea Moor.

Excellent compilation 5* - the right choice to leave the last shot in - nicely reflected not just typical weather on the S&C but typical of the UK this dreary summer! The sound was superb. - Mike

Thanks Mike, It was a shame about the last shot but as you say it reflects our 'barbecue summer'

Thanks Chris, you are so right about being able to enjoy these locos today but the chaps who work so hard to keep them going deserve all the praise

Another fine set of Leander Austin. We are so lucky to be able to enjoy these locos and even luckier when clever souls like yourself capture them forever so well on film. Chris

That's for sure, I shot one of my videos on the NYMR, in torrential rain, got absolutely soaked, but it was worth it LOL
